Study compared coriander oils from Iranian and Iraqi populations, found linalool as major compound. Oils showed antibacterial activity against , more effective than antibiotics. Useful for selecting populations for antibacterial applications.
Scientists studied a fungal endophyte from Artemisia absinthium for biopesticidal properties. Isolate Aa22 showed antifungal, insect antifeedant, and nematicidal activities. Three compounds were isolated, including a new one, with potential for biopesticide development.
Garlic antimicrobial peptide improved by chemical modification for better antifungal activity. Study explores structure-activity relationship and antifungal mechanism. Useful for developing new antifungal treatments.
Researchers analyzed the antifungal properties of bitter orange peel decoction, identifying coumarins and flavones as key inhibitors of a melon phytopathogen. This study provides insights for utilizing unexplored food sources in drug development.
Researchers analyzed apricot kernels from four varieties to determine physicochemical properties and bioactive content. Findings could lead to improved cultivation practices and facilitate the development of new nutraceutical products.
Plant-derived flavonoids, especially flavones and isoflavones, show promise as novel antimicrobial agents against MRSA. They disrupt membrane structures, inhibit efflux pumps and β-lactamases, and bacterial virulence factors. This research could lead to new treatments for MRSA infections.
Researchers optimized garlic mustard oil as an antifungal agent against fungal infections. GMM showed strong activity against fungi with potential for treating tropical infections. Benefits include effective inhibition of fungal growth and strong binding affinity to N-myristoyltransferase.
